With the Earth still sitting at a precipice, hovering like a giant ball between the old and new, it may appear as though nothing is changing in a substantial way. Don’t let these outer appearances fool you! Indeed, plenty is changing and happening here on this planet.

Yes, we are still at a tipping point. That precipice remains a real threat in 2015. We must take notice and act while there is time to change the planet’s destiny.

Humanity needs to come together with a shared vision and act with a new consciousness. Given our long history of aggression and wars, this indeed is a tall order, but this is what we were born in these times to facilitate.

We are no lightweights – we are divine changemakers!

You may already think of yourself as a divine changemaker. That role in fact years ago may have made so much sense that you have been applying your energies to needed inner transformation and to actions in your outer world. Example: as you healed on an inner level, you applied your increased light-filled consciousness to everyday situations involving relationships and work.

Consider inviting your Higher Self to be with you as you read further. Ask for spirit’s view of what the words here mean for you on a personal level. Chances are, over time you may find you resonate with different parts of this article. Idea: place a copy of this 2015 predictions article somewhere handy so you can refer to it again over the coming months.

Encoded at a DNA Level

Remember: we are encoded at a DNA level to be at the forefront of Earth’s massive shifting. We have had lifetimes of preparation to be here now. It was no accident, then, that we were born when we were – so we could stand out front and lead the way. Our groundwork is much vaster than we can possibly imagine. It is fueled in a quantum way by our eternal connection to spirit.

To serve in the highest way at this juncture, our souls incarnated here on Earth in physical form. The idea is to bring spirit into this physicality – our bodies and our expression – actively engaged with the world. That is how we grow spiritually and it’s also how we become powerful agents of positive change.

Consider right now how much growth and change you already have experienced personally. If you are really honest with yourself, it’s probably more than you achieved in most of your previous lifetimes. Earlier historical cycles simply didn’t have that much going on compared to now.

What is Changing

Let’s consider some examples of what indeed is changing in our world. Inequitable power structures and true reasons why we historically have waged war are being seen and seriously questioned by a growing number of aware and educated people across the world. Because of the accelerated awakening under way across the planet, light is now shining on countless issues and imbalances. Much that was hidden is coming out of the closet for all to see!

To be sure, seeing what needs fixing and actually fixing it are two separate things. Example: you notice after getting dressed in the dark that your socks don’t match. If you are still at home when you discover this, you find the matching sock and fix the mismatch. It was easy to fix this very simplistic problem.

For more complex things – especially those involving other people and a myriad of circumstances beyond your control – a radical shift in view and a higher consciousness response are required. Don’t let complexity deter you from engaging actively in situations in need of remedies. The world needs your light and heart-centered approaches – trust this.

The 2012 Effect

As you ponder humanity’s progress to date – looking at what has actually happened and how much has changed – get out your quantum glasses to see the big picture. Linear thinking won’t show you what’s truly going on – it’s too attached to dates like 2012 and other markers when so many people mistakenly bought into the fantasy that our world could shift overnight.

Things are shifting and the changes have been unfolding for a very long time. However, remedying all of humanity’s dysfunctions in place for thousands of years is indeed a process. When we apply linear yardsticks to what is possible, we set ourselves up for a big disappointment.

If you are among those feeling disappointed after humanity failed to have a mass ascension in 2012, it’s time to let that go and move on. Disappointment, after all, is only reducing your frequency and preventing you from fully participating in the most amazing consciousness shift ever undertaken on Earth. It is happening and you are a key puzzle piece in the outcome.

Fate of Earth in Our Hands

Each of us has a role to play in what happens next. The fate of Earth is in our hands. The year 2015 is a time when this truth will be more evident than ever before. It is a time when we are being called to take a much more active role in Earth’s future. At this crucial stage, we cannot afford to sit on the sidelines, waiting for authority figures to discover and fix everything that’s wrong.

Background on Power Structures

Since so much of what needs to shift relates to misuse of power, it’s helpful to understand the background. Power structures – and the conventional institutions established to implement things – were set up long ago based on linear models. They were never functional in an egalitarian way. The models had a hierarchy favoring those at the top.

Consider that in past lifetimes you experienced both sides of this polar opposite equation! Sometimes you might have been a wealthy land owner or ruler. Other times, you might have been a peasant or slave – not allowed to own property or have a say in what happened.

Acknowledge that you probably had a part to play in setting up and administering power mongering systems. Seeing that you helped to create both sides of our current dilemma can help you to be more compassionate and loving as you do your part in remedying things. When you take responsibility for your energies over time like this, you can move beyond blaming the “bad guys” now in charge.

To really change anything, we must see the totality of what needs changing. We must see things from all angles, all perspectives, factoring in the whole and the historical background. It’s not enough to simply elect new leaders who can easily become enmeshed in the status quo of an existing protocol. Voting is important, in the various ways we can vote our ideals, but voting alone without other actions reduces the power we truly have. Similarly, it’s not enough to simply pray for solutions, either, although of course prayers can help. Our energies and actions in the world must be in alignment with our prayers and intentions.

We cannot overhaul a dysfunctional linear world with a linear approach. That’s like putting a small Band-Aid on a huge wound. We must think bigger and outside the box of convention – nothing short of quantum will do!

We are naturally inventive and curious. We can apply those qualities to create and participate in brand-new ways of coexisting on our small planet. Look around – examples like crowd-sourced business models are popping up regularly. Watch for other new models too.

Allow the successes of others out there breaking the mold to inspire you to take risks. Refuse to settle for the status quo simply because you don’t know what else to do and it seems bigger than you.

Impact of 2015 Energies

The energies of 2015 – including planetary lineups and other factors – will catalyze even deeper levels of questioning and greater unrest than we have seen to date. Uncertainty and chaos will continue. These disruptive energies will sit side-by-side with a growing public clamoring for more peaceful and simpler times.

In addition, most people will be feeling an incessant urge to restructure the foundation of their lives. You may feel it even if you have recently made big changes. Why? There could be a symbolic crack in your foundation – some area of your life where you need to get more serious and responsible.

The importance of self-mastery in relationships will remain a dominant theme. Indeed, how you relate to yourself and others will play a key role in how you experience life and how fast you advance spiritually. Tip: keep relationships on your radar and as difficulties arise, do the inner and outer work to keep things in balance.

Another continuing and important theme for 2015: the need to master your use of will and inner fire. Since fire is required to fuel your rebirth, become familiar with how it operates in your life. Finding your balance before acting on your fire will remain one of your essential tasks.

Depending on how those cosmic energies line up with you personally, this year can feel like the push you have needed to step fully into your empowerment and boldly step into unknown territories.

Challenging the Status Quo

In order to effectively meet the energies of 2015, you will need to challenge the status quo on a regular basis. What does this mean?

First, it means challenging your own status quo, questioning how you are used to operating in all kinds of situations. What you will discover is that much of your personal status quo is habitual and hasn’t been questioned for a very long time. Begin an ongoing questioning process now.

Second, it means putting a magnifying glass on the status quo within your relationships and key life activities such as your work. Remember: just because you’ve always done something a certain way, this doesn’t mean it’s the optimal way! Relationships in particular can become troubled when two people come together and aren’t clear in their communications about what they want and what their boundaries are.

Third, it involves questioning more of what you see in the outer world. Many things are not as they appear! Ask the deeper questions other people aren’t yet asking. Refuse to go with the pack of public opinion on things – you want to find your own truth.

Only by questioning convention, becoming informed, and understanding how things operate can you begin to clarify what role you can play in changing what’s not working. That role in 2015 must be more than ideas and complaining about injustices. Your light-filled presence and heart-centered actions are needed. Trust that you will be guided over the coming months to discover what this means for you personally. Know that you indeed have what it takes to not only sustain your forward movement but to thrive in love and joy.
